MINNEAPOLIS -- One night after its bullpen struggled mightily, the Minnesota Twins got a stellar performance from a different group of nonstarters. Brian Duensing pitched two innings of scoreless relief, Casey Fien got two outs and Jared Burton earned his first save with a perfect ninth as the Twins beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-5 Saturday night. Ryan Doumit homered and Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau each had three hits for the Twins. Vance Worley struggled through 5 1-3 innings, but earned his first win in 13 starts dating to Aug. 1, 2012. Baltimore got within 6-5 in the sixth to chase Worley, and had runners on first and second when Duensing came into the game.

Doumit hit his third home run of the season in the sixth, a two-run shot into the second deck in left field to give Minnesota a little breathing room at 8-5. Worley (1-4) gave up 11 hits and five earned runs. He struck out one but threw 111 pitches. He left balls up in the zone and was hit hard in the opening frame when Baltimore took a 3-0 lead. Machado and Jones had doubles, and Markakis and Chris Davis had RBI singles in the inning. Matt Wieters added a sacrifice fly to deep left-centre. "After that I went out there and I wasnt thinking so much," Worley said. "Im here
